Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ekans from the X and Y Pokemon Card Set. Ekans is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 70. It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Ekans does not have an Ability and it only has one move called Bite. This move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ekans is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Arbok, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon. However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution. So, on its own this card should only be used as a last resort basic Pokemon card in any type deck because this card is average at best, requires only colorless energy cards to attack and can do 20 damage. So if you need just one more card in your deck and put Ekans into it, try to get Ekans into the active Pokemon spot early, use Bite when you can, then retreat Ekans when you have another Pokemon setup or Ekans is about to feint.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the X and Y set. This card is definitely average overall and probably shouldn't be used very often in decks. I like that this card has an above average hp, and a move that only requires colorless energy cards which does 20 damage, however this card is quite limited only having one move and having a high retreat cost. So the positives and negatives of this card cancel each other out and make this card average.
